In 2002 I worked as an international election observer for the commune elections in Cambodia. I was assigned to Svay Rieng province, on the Vietnamese border, because I speak Vietnamese and there had been some complaints that ethnic Vietnamese living in Svay Rieng were being denied the right to vote. I went out the day before the election to the provincial capital (Svay Rieng town) with a few people also working for the same organization. The night before we arrived one of the Cambodian observers working for our organization who lived in Svay Rieng was murdered. He was stabbed in the chest and face and shot through each eye. The police said it was a robbery, though the only thing missing was his ancient Honda Cub (a 50cc scooter). They said they didn't see a connection between his being an election observer and his having his eyes shot out.
The evening before the election we met up with the guys working for the EU observation team. They'd been in the area longer and had really good maps (as opposed to our no maps). They showed us which districts they were covering, and assigned one woman in our group and her friend who had agreed to act as a translator to the most southern part of the district which butted up against the Vietnamese border. She came back with an hilarious story about being taken all over the district by some local official who even brought them into Vietnam for lunch (the food's better! he said). The EU guys asked James, Panna, and I to cover Romeas Haek district because it didn't have paved roads and we three had off-road motorcycles (the EU guys had a Toyota Land Cruiser, sans winch, and had gotten it stuck in a ditch on the edge of Romeas Haek earlier in the week).
I took this in a village late in the afternoon. We went to one village beyond this one and then turned back to find a station to observe the count. This guy was trying his best to follow the rules and regulations about how many people could be in a polling station at one time. People were cooperating... just barely.
With a week to presidential elections, scheduled at 20th of August, security becomes robust, as the government of Afghanistan is trying to ensure good enough conditions for voting. Candidates to provincial councils, often local strong men with mujaheed past, visit one village after another as to rally support. Children consider each passing car as an election vehicle, asking for posters.

Taken the week before the elections in Sweden this shot was an experiment in creating the illusion of life in sleepy Lund. I put the camera on a tripod and set the internal intervalometer to take a shot every minute for 20 minutes. In this version I have used each one of those frames, masking in every person who appeared greatly increasing the apparent crowd.
It's a bit rough'n'ready since it was really a proof of concept exercise.
I learned that it's bad to shoot in changeable weather since the shots taken under cloud are hard to match those taken in direct sun. I also learned that as soon as a person appears close to the camera they hide all the people you've just carefully masked in behind them!
November 1908 postcard view of the Evening Star Building on the NW corner of Pennsylvania Ave. and 11th St., NW by Charles Evans.
In front are the screens on which the Star, using a stereopticon / magic lantern, projected returns information on Nov. 3rd, election night. The crowd is looking at a news bulletin posted on the corner.
An article published the previous day notes their use of "the highest-power" projectors, "carefully selected to give the beholders the clearest announcements. These bulletins will come from many sources, from the Star's own staff and special correspondents in the field; from the Associated Press; from the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies, and from the long distance telephone service." Cartoons of the candidates and other election personalities by the Star's then-famous cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman (today remembered mainly for his role in the creation of the first teddy bears) were also projected.
To the left at 1107 Pennsylvania Ave. is William H. Baldwin's 1867 building for Galt & Brother Jewelers - in business in DC for nearly 200 years when it folded in 2001. 1109, next door, housed a number of businesses, including the former studio of Michael Kets Kemethy, a portrait photographer here for 25 years. Per the Star, he had recently fled DC after a violent and public dispute with his estranged wife. Both buildings have since been razed.
Flyer distributed around the electorate of Bruce in Melbourne's south eastern suburbs. The seat has been fairly safe for Labor since a redistribution in 1996 saw it included parts of Dandenong that were previously in the electorate of Holt. Prior to that it was a Liberal electorate centred around Glen Waverley. The Labor member since 1996 has been Alan Griffin who is retiring at the 2016 election. Notably the early days saw a staffer in the office named Daniel Andrews who would win the 2014 Victorian Election to become Premier.
The 2013 Election saw Labor retain the seat with a wafer thin margin of 1.8%. The Liberal Party put resources into the electorate following a brief surge in polling to Malcolm Turnbull following the leadership spill in September 2015. Polling before the July 2 election date has the two major parties close with the incumbent Coalition possibly 'sandbagging' enough marginal seats to hold on to power.
More recently Labor were hoping for gains in Victoria which may have been hampered by issues with the Andrews Victorian Government.
Thank you to Vax80 for the flyers.
